Now that is a collectors item. I feel like you don't see wild shit like that anymore.

You wanna go fast?

There are faster trikes out there, but this one is my favorite.

From what I’ve seen, sometimes go for a song but generally valued at about $ 5000 .

They exist. One rides past my place every evening. He owns it. 80's rock blasting with fake flames attached to the fake pipes. Hilarious/awesome.

Just the word “Hutch” brings back so much 80's nostalgia for me. The pads, the bars, the grips, the pedals...we’d all be talking out of our 11 year old asses like we were experts on which brand, which aftermarket parts, which pro etc.etc. We’d pepper our dirt track sentences with shit like “Factory Kuw ahara Lazerlite ” “Diamondback” “Mongoose”.  We must have been insufferable...lol.

A friend’s older brother had a friend; only Hutch in the neighborhood. The older brother had one of these:

To say I drooled over this bike, would be putting it lightly. The gooseneck pad, the chrome sprocket cover, all the details. I do have one bad memory of it though. He had blue and yellow foam Star Grips. Not sure if it came with them, but man they were awful to hold and guaranteed to give blisters after an hour.

Edit: Or maybe it was these ( That now go for $200) . lol

Yup, pretty much same. There were a couple of older brothers that had Kuwararas. There was one Hutch as I recall but they weren’t around much because they were the most expensive and I don’t think Caps carried them.

I started off with a crappy tire bike too. I can’t find any images on line. It was falt black and had a heavy as shit frame. the front tubes were straight and I think even extended past the head tube like a motorbike fork.  I swear it was called a Raleigh Phantom but the interwebs can’t confirm.

This is what we'll show whenever you publish anything on Kinja: > Goggles Pizzano 09/08/2020 at 13:44
